This marks the first documented implementation of a citizen-driven surveillance network at this scale, processing 21,000 arrests in just 12 days through public informants. The combination of civilian reporting, phone surveillance, and cyber-monitoring creates an unprecedented trinity of control that achieved a daily arrest rate of 1,750 people - a capability that hasn't been seen in previous Middle East conflicts.

📰 What Happened
Iranian authorities arrested 21,000 'suspects' during a 12-day conflict with Israel and the US in June 2025. Police spokesperson Saeid Montazerolmahdi reported a 41% increase in public informant calls, leading to mass arrests. The crackdown included 2,774 illegal migrants, 261 espionage suspects, and 172 unauthorized filming cases. Seven people have been executed for alleged Israeli spying, while authorities examined phones for 'special security cases' and investigated 5,700 cybercrime incidents.
📖 Prophetic Significance
The Iranian crackdown demonstrates three key elements of end-time religious deception: 1) The 41% surge in citizen informants fulfills Matthew 24:10's warning of betrayal, 2) The examination of 30 'special security cases' through phone surveillance shows how technology enables religious persecution, 3) The targeting of Afghan refugees as potential spies reveals how religious nationalism can mask spiritual deception. This system of mutual surveillance and rapid arrests (21,000 in 12 days) provides a working model for how the false prophet could implement widespread religious control through civilian enforcement.
